At present, the incidence and mortality rate of severe acute pancreatitis is 15%-20% and about 20%, respectively, which can lead to local and systemic complications of patients and huge medical costs. The occurrence of acute pancreatitis is closely related to inflammatory response. This article reviews the progress of anti-inflammation therapy and immunotherapy of acute pancreatitis, aiming to provide reference for treatment in patients with acute pancreatitis.

Objective: To explore the relationship of family function with sleep and externalizing problem behaviors of preschool children, so as to provide a guidance for externalizing problem prevention and intervention among preschool children. Methods: From October 2023 to January 2024, a convenience sampling method was used to select 5 138 preschool children from kindergartens in 8 districts of Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Parents completed the survey for Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale, children s sleep habits and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation of family function with scores of sleep quality and externalizing problem behaviors among preschool children. A mediation model analysis and bootstrap test were conducted to further investigate the mediating role of sleep quality between family function and externalizing problem behaviors. Mplus 8.7 software was used for latent profile analysis of family function. Results: The reported rates of poor sleep quality and externalizing problem behaviors among preschool children were 11.8% ( n =607), 20.0% ( n =1 026). The relevant analysis results showed that family function was negatively correlated with sleep quality and externalizing problem behaviors ( r = -0.20, -0.23), and sleep quality was positively correlated with externalizing problem behaviors ( r =0.27) ( P <0.01). The mediation effect test showed that family function negatively predicted externalizing problem behaviors ( β =-0.079) and sleep quality ( β = -0.075), while sleep quality positively predicted externalizing problem behaviors ( β =0.215) ( P <0.01). The latent profile analysis results showed that family function could be classified into 4 categories: high family function group (23.01%), upper middle family function group (44.65%), moderate family function group (26.24%) and low family function group (6.11%). Compared to high family function, the other three categories significantly positively predicted externalizing problem behaviors, and the mediating effects of sleep quality on different categories of family function were statistically significant [upper middle family function: mediation effect value was 0.022 (95% CI =0.004-0.041) and direct effect value was 0.329 (95% CI =0.263-0.396); middle family function: mediation effect value was 0.087 (95% CI =0.063-0.115) and direct effect value was 0.491 (95% CI =0.416-0.565); low family function: mediation effect value was 0.144 (95% CI =0.107-0.185) and direct effect 0.621 (95% CI =0.503-0.740)] ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Family function negatively predicts the externalizing problem behaviors of preschool children, and sleep quality plays a partial mediating role.

Objective To analyze the difference of CT features between hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) and acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP). Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 66 HLAP patients and 96 ABP patients admitted to East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from January 2018 to December 2019. The clinical data and CT features of patients between the two groups were compared. Results There were statistically significant differences in the clinical data and CT grades (A-E) between the HLAP group and the ABP group (P＜0.01). ABP group showed more swelling and effusion in pancreatic body and tail (58.3%), 16.7% of swelling and effusion in whole pancreas, but rare swelling and effusion located in pancreatic head and neck alone (3.1%). The HLAP group showed more swelling and effusion in whole pancreas (48.5%), 39.4% of swelling and effusion in pancreatic head and neck, but rare swelling and effusion located in pancreatic body and tail alone (12.1%). Conclusions CT features of HLAP are significantly different from the ABP, which may be useful for early precise diagnosis and treatment for HLAP.

Ferroptosis is a unique regulated form of cell death that is distinct from apoptosis, necrosis, and other well-characterized regulated cell death types, and plays an important role in the occurrence and development of chronic metabolic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Recently, increasing evidence has supported traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as a new hot spot for the treatment of chronic metabolic diseases by mediating ferroptosis. Unfortunately, few systematic reviews have described the importance of TCM in treating chronic metabolic diseases through the ferroptosis pathway. In the current review, the mechanism of ferroptosis and the roles of ferroptosis in chronic metabolic diseases are summarized. Additionally, this review illustrates that the regulation of ferroptosis by TCM could be an effective approach for treating chronic metabolic diseases based on experimental evidence and clinical application. In summary, this work will improve the understanding of ferroptosis and the ability of TCM to regulate ferroptosis in chronic metabolic diseases, thereby promoting the development and application of natural TCM.

Objective: To examine the association of hypertension onset age with diabetes, so as to provide insights into reducing the the risk of cardiovascular events. Methods: Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected through the program of early screening and comprehensive intervention for the high-risk cardiovascular disease population in Changning District and Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality from 2016 to 2020. Demographic information, disease history, hypertension onset age, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examination and laboratory tests. The residents were divided into four groups based on the onset age of hypertension: <45, 45-<55, 55-<65 and ≥65 years old, and the residents with normal blood pressure were selected as control. The association of hypertension onset age with prediabetes and diabetes were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 25 228 residents were recruited, including 8 753 males (34.70%) and 16 475 females (65.30%). The prevalence of hypertension was 43.80%. There were 1 779, 3 274, 3 781 and 2 217 cases with hypertension onset age of <45, 45-<55, 55-<65 and ≥65 years old, respectively, and 14 177 residents with normal blood pressure. The prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes were 24.01% and 11.29%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, marital status and educational level, compared with the normal blood pressure group, the risk of prediabetes was higher in the hypertension onset age groups of <45 (OR=1.345, 95%CI: 1.164-1.553), 45-<55 (OR=1.365, 95%CI: 1.212-1.536) and 55-<65 years old (OR=1.376, 95%CI: 1.239-1.527), and the risk of diabetes was higher in the hypertension onset age groups of <45 (OR=2.302, 95%CI: 1.906-2.775), 45-<55 (OR=2.349, 95%CI: 2.016-2.734), 55-<65 (OR=1.909, 95%CI: 1.667-2.184) and ≥65 years old (OR=1.315, 95%CI: 1.131-1.526). Conclusion There are statistically significant associations between hypertension onset age with prediabetes and diabetes.

【Objective】 To understand the prevalence of retinopathy (ROP) in preterm infants with gestational age ≤34 weeks in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, and to analyze the associated risk factors, so as to provide a basis for early screening of high-risk premature infants. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was conducted on the relevant case data of hospitalized premature infants with gestational age ≤34 weeks in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from June 2015 to June 2020. Infants were divided into ROP group and non-ROP group based on the results of fundus screening. Relevant data were collected to analyze the relevant risk factors for ROP in premature infants. 【Result】 A total of 1 738 premature infants with gestational age ≤34 weeks were included, with 292 cases (16.8%) in ROP group and 1 446 cases in non-ROP group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) (OR=3.379, 95%CI:1.835 - 6.221), anemia (OR=7.388, 95%CI: 4.262 - 12.806), receiving blood transfusion treatment (OR=2.129, 95%CI: 1.278 - 3.547), oxygen requirement time >7 days (OR=3.429, 95%CI: 2.309 - 5.094), and the fraction of inspired oxygen greater than 40% (OR=2.541, 95%CI: 1.540 - 4.193) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of ROP. Among these patients, 167 eyes (103 patients) received treatment of ROP, including 108 eyes treated with intraocular injection of Rizumab, 35 eyes treated with fundus laser, and 24 eyes treated with combination of both. All patients had acceptable outcomes during the follow-up. 【Conclusions】 Premature infants with anemia, BPD, receiving blood transfusion treatment, oxygen requirement time >7 days, and the fraction of inspired oxygen >40% are at high risk of developing ROP. Standardized fundus screening and timely treatment measures are essential to reduce the risk of visual impairment in premature infants.

Background::With an increasing proportion of multiparas, proper interpregnancy intervals (IPIs) are urgently needed. However, the association between IPIs and adverse perinatal outcomes has always been debated. This study aimed to explore the association between IPIs and adverse outcomes in different fertility policy periods and for different previous gestational ages.Methods::We used individual data from China’s National Maternal Near Miss Surveillance System between 2014 and 2019. Multivariable Poisson models with restricted cubic splines were used. Each adverse outcome was analyzed separately in the overall model and stratified models. The stratified models included different categories of fertility policy periods (2014–2015, 2016–2017, and 2018–2019) and infant gestational age in previous pregnancy (<28 weeks, 28–36 weeks, and ≥37 weeks).Results::There were 781,731 pregnancies enrolled in this study. A short IPI (≤6 months) was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (OR [95% CI]: 1.63 [1.55, 1.71] for vaginal delivery [VD] and 1.10 [1.03, 1.19] for cesarean section [CS]), low Apgar scores and small for gestational age (SGA), and a decreased risk of diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, preeclampsia or eclampsia, and gestational hypertension. A long IPI (≥60 months) was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (OR [95% CI]: 1.18 [1.11, 1.26] for VD and 1.39 [1.32, 1.47] for CS), placenta previa, postpartum hemorrhage, diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, preeclampsia or eclampsia, and gestational hypertension. Fertility policy changes had little effect on the association of IPIs and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The estimated risk of preterm birth, low Apgar scores, SGA, diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, and gestational hypertension was more profound among women with previous term births than among those with preterm births or pregnancy loss.Conclusion::For pregnant women with shorter or longer IPIs, more targeted health care measures during pregnancy should be formulated according to infant gestational age in previous pregnancy.

Lung cancer accounts for the highest proportion of cancer deaths in the world and poses a great threat to human health.About 30％to 40％of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)is caused by point mutations,exon insertion and exon deletion of the epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR).In addition to the common exon 19 deletion mutation and exon 21 L858R mutation,exon 18 G719X mutation,exon 21 L861Qmutation and exon 20 S768I mutation are the most important rare mutations.At present,the diagnostic methods for major rare mutations are mainly next-generation sequenc-ing(NGS),digital polymerase chain reaction(dPCR),droplet digital PCR(ddPCR),etc.Regarding the targeted therapy of G719X/L861Q/S768I mutant NSCLC,the first generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)have poor efficacy,while the second and third generation EGFR-TKIs have similar efficacy.The novel third generation EGFR-TKIs and combina-tion therapy show a good therapeutic prospect.This article summarized the progress in the diagnosis and targeted therapy of G719X/L861Q/S768I mutant NSCLC,so as to provide reference for subsequent clinical drug use and research.

To reduce the subjectivity and uncertainty present in the current international methods of drug value pricing when converting value into monetary prices,based on the hedonic pricing theory,it considers the post-negotiation price between manufacturers and payers as a reasonable price reference in the value pricing of Chinese patent medicine.By constructing an indicator system for the characteristics of Chinese patent medicine,it selects and measures the value characteristic variables that affect the price of Chinese patent medicine.It serves as the theoretical foundation and research basis for establishing a Hedonic price model between characteristic price variables and negotiation prices,thereby promoting the enhancement of rationality and objectivity in value-guided pricing of Chinese patent medicine.
